Get back to something you enjoy.
A walk you have missed. A group you want to try. Someone to spend time with while you find your feet again.
Start with your own reason
You might want to leave the house more often, get back to a hobby or make space for a regular conversation. You do not need a long list of goals. One thing you want to do is a good place to start.
We listen to what matters to you and agree how a companion can help. For one person, that means company on a journey. For another, it means an afternoon at home with music, a game or a proper chat.
Build a routine you want to keep
A regular visit puts time in the diary for the things you choose. Your companion gets to know your interests and the way you like to do things. You can repeat a favourite activity, try somewhere new or stay in when that suits you better.
There is no pressure to make every visit busier than the last. We ask what you enjoyed and what you want next time.
Go together
If the journey has become the difficult part, we can plan it together. Meet at home, take the bus or tram, walk into the venue and allow time to settle in. Your companion can stay with you rather than simply drop you at the door.
Keep what is working
When you have started a useful routine with another service, you may want company to help you continue it. We can discuss visits around the activities you want to keep doing, with your existing support involved where you choose.
Look back together
Did you enjoy the outing? Was there enough time? Would you like to do it again? Those conversations help us shape the next visit. A goal can change, and a quiet afternoon can be exactly what you wanted.
Our role is companionship and practical encouragement, not treatment or therapy. We work around the other support you receive.
What would you like company for?
Tell us what you have in mind. We’ll talk through the visits and introduce a companion for a free meet-and-greet.
